The Builders.

CHICAGO, March 30.-The National
Association of Builders met again this
morning. John S. Stevens. of Philadelphia,
the chairman of the constitutional COM
mittee, read one hundred-page report,
and Oh motion of A. j. Campbell, of New
York, the constitution was read and
adopted, one section at time. In spite of
objections the first section, naming the
organization 1.-The National Association of
Builders of the United States" was passed.
Article three, relating to membership,
elected spirited discussion between the
delegates from Pittsburg, Philadelphia and
Providence, r. /. 1t was provided that
All properly Incorporated or duly organized
builders exchanges, representing collectively
employers in the various trades concerned
in the erection, construction and completion
of buildings shall be entitled to membership
in this association, upon application and ac-
ceptance by the board of directors. $50
Mr., Phillips. of Providence, objected tothe
word incorporated" giving as hissIeasoll
the diversity OF corporation laws in the
different states. He thought an ''organ-
lied exchange" was sufficient in any case
The legal talent of Philadelphia took issue
with him in this, and after some cutting
remarks the matter was compromised by
introducing the word legally in place of
duly The place for holding the next
annual meeting was not decided on, al
though number of towns sent Invitations
to the convention.

Shot and Robbed.

UTICA. n. Y, March O.-''Telegraph
HUT, at Albany, that have been shot and
robbed" These were the words uttered by
Express Messenger Lake, running on train
Sc on the West Shore road, which arrived
in Utica at 11:16 tonight. when he was
found lying in his car bleeding freely from
wound in his shoulder. While the
train was making the run between
Clarks Mills and this city. which only occu-
pies seven minutes, party of men boarded
it between the baggage and express cars,
shot the messenger and attempted robbery,
but with what result or how severely the
man is injured could not be learned, as
stop of only three minutes was made here
and all was confusion. When the train
reached Frankfort, nine miles east of here,
Lake was attended by physician. The
would-be robbers escaped. but it is believed
they secured no plunder.
Later information is to the effect that
there was but one assailaut. He entered
the car and ordered the messenger to throw
up his hands. The latter did not at once
comprehend him and the robber shot him.
He then gagged and bound him and rifled
the safe, but the amount secured is not
known.

didate for Mayor.
CHICAGO, March 3O.-The Democratic
party of Chicago is still without candidate
for mayor, and the leaders are again look
ing to Carter Harrison. Notwithstanding
that he has twice accepted and twice de-
clined the nomination. the nominating
committee of fifty appointed by the second
Democratic convention met this evening and
held two lengthy sessions. After the first
notice that Dewitt G. Creiger and John A.
King, members of the committee, had de-
clined a proffer of the head of the ticket.
Congressman Frank LaWler started a new
boom for Mayor Harrison. AS the latter
was absent, and no one was authorized to
speak for him. no action was taken on Mr.
Lawler's proposition, and John H. McAvoy
a wealthy brewer, who was present as one
of the committee of fifty, was urged to
accept. He did not refuse outright, and
the committee took it for granted that he
would accept. Notwithstanding his proIesta-
ton that he did not want the office. A re-
cess was taken, and in the meantime Mr.
McAyoy held consultation with Mayor
Harrison. Though the latter assured him
of his support, Mr.. McAyoy. after much
hesitation, wrote a letter declining. giving
the reason that his business engagements
would not permit him to accept. When the
lie tier was read to the committee President
Kern, of the Cook county Democracy, ad-
vocated adjournment sine die, leaving the
Republican and United Labor tickets the
only ones in the field. Congressman Law
ler protested vigorously, and again cham
pioned Carter Harrison. Lawyer Harry
Rubens followed in the same vein. and then
moved the appointment of committee of
five to hunt candidate. The motion was
carried with whoop. Tomorrow evening
the committee will report the result Of the
search.

ADULTERATED SPICES.
The Way i'm which People Ar
Swindied by Dealers.

WASHINGTON. March 30.-The chemists
of the departments of agriculture. under
the direction of the commissioner, have for
year or more been investigating the ex-
tent and manner of food adulteration prac-
ticed in this country, and a report covering
several branches of the work is in process
of preparation. That portion relating to
spices and condiments prepared by Clifford
Richardson is already completed. Mr..
Richardson's investigations show that no
other kinds of human food are adulterated
to such an extent. Of twenty samples of
ground cloves examined, only two were
pure. The others had suffered the eX-
traction of their essential oils, and had
been polluted by the addition of Glove
stems, ailSpice, and husks of various kinds.
Of eight samples of Cayenne pepper, only
one was pure. OF ten samples of mustard,
none were pure-though several had only
suffered the loss of their fixed oil.
the others containing quantities of
ing in some cases two-thirds OF the
compound. This made it necessary to add
tumeric acid (harmless) to restore the must
ard color. Ten samples of allSpice were
examined, eight of'which were pure. Four
samples of cassia were all pure. Of ten
samples of ginger four were pure. Only
one out of thirteen samples of black pepper
was found unadulterated. A specimen
sent from Baltimore to a man who had an
army contract was almost entirely spurious.
Cayenne pepper. black pepper, husks and
mustard hulls were used to give flavor and
pungency, while ''body" was supplied by
ground beans and lice and color by char
coal. Two samples of white pepper out of
five were pure. Two samples of mace out
of five were pure, and OF three samples of
nutmeg examined all were pure. Mr..
Richardson's experience leads to the con-
clusion that the public has the power in its
own hands to effect reform in the matter
of spice adulteratlon. The quality of the
articles is usually fixed by the retailer, who
names the price he is willing to pay. The

Queer Mining Transactions.

New YORK, March 30.-Financial cir
cles are exercised over the report that
$3.50. 600 of the funds of the Horn Silver
Mining company. in which A. R. Culver
and A. G.. Washington are interested, have
disappeared. The story runs that Culver
and Washington are now trying to find
where the money has gone. They are
hunting up the stockholders, and at meet
ing in October will ask an eX-
planation OF the missing cash.
President Franklyn. who. it is claimed,
can explain the matter, has not yet returned
from Europe. Mr.. Culver said that the
mine, which is in southern Utah. had de-
clared dividends of some $4,000 600 or
more. About two years ago it ceased pay
ing dividends. The reports from the COM
pany were unsatisfactory, and some of the
principal stockholders want some light on
the management of the mine.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Naval officers
are very indignant at the publication of
story. emanating from New York, regard
ing the detail of the Yantic for duty at
Aspinwall last winter The story, as pub
lshed, states that after the Yantic had
completed the duty for which she was sent
to Aspinwall. she was compelled to remain
there unnecessarily, although the unhealthy
season was imminent. Sickness broke out
among both officers and men, but the re-
peated telegraphic requests for orders to
sail were not answered by the navy depart
ment. The condition Of affairs was mex
plicable to the Yantic people until the
arrival of a bridal couple at Aspinwall
from the North solved the problem. The
groom was Mr.. Ward. superintendent of
the Panama railroad. His bride had been
unwilling to visit Aspinwall on account Of
the unsettled condition of affairs until at
reception at Washington Secretary Whit
ney, to whom she expressed her fears,
promised her that she would have man-of-
war to guard her during her visit. The

ing, the Yantic received permission to go
to Key West. The officers of the navy de-
partment
EMPHATICALLY DENY
that there was the slightest delay, in an
swer to the communications of the captain
of the Yantic vessel. Lieut. Commander
Risinger, who was the executive officer of
the Yantic at the time referred to, said:
The story is a scandalous falsehood. The
Yantic was ordered to Aspinwall on account
of the local trouble, and remained sometime
afterwards on account of the unsettled con-
diton of affairs. Some of the officers and
men were taken sick. / was laid up with the
Panama fever myself. Capt. Greene did not
report sickness on board to the navy depart
ment until the doctor made recommends
tion to that effect. There was not the slight
est delay in the Washington end of the line
in answering the telegram. In fact, the
reply was sent more promptly than is Gus
tomary. Capt Greene, after telegraphing to
Washington, took9 the Yantic outsid e, and
upon returning to Aspinwall, found that the
telegram permitting him to continue his
cruise had been waiting for several days. Mr..
and Mrs. Ward did come to ASpinwall while
we were there. but Mrs. Wards presence had
notEing to do with our remaining there, and
nobody on the ship ever thought of such a
thing. The ship was then on legitimate duty.
When sickness broke out the the captain re-
ported the fact and was authorized to sail
and there was no delay.

The Free Delivery Delay.
Special to the Globe.

Speclal TO tne GIODe.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-"Had it not
been for the failure of the deficiency appro-
priation bill," said First Assistant Post
master General Stevenson to-day. 'the post
office department would have been enabled
to put the free delivery system in operation
the first of next July. Congress passed a
bill at its last session which will give 179
cities having population of 10000 or more
the benefit of the free delivery system, but
did not provide for their immediate wants.
This explanation is due to account to post
masters and the public for seeming delay by
the department in matter OF such vital in
terest. Instead of being able to 20 ahead
and give the people what they need promptly
we must await the beginning of the fiscal
year when the regular postoffice appropria-
tion will be available for the free delivery
service. 1t was a very grave oversight in
congress neglecting to provide for this
matter when it had the opportunity and the
department would have been saved endless
trouble and correspondence with people in
terested in the new service at their homes.
However, we shall certainly oblige the peo-
pie after the first of July. 1887, and the
lesson of the last congress will not be lost
upon future ones let us hope"
